Completely to the contrary. It is the knee jerk reaction to inconclusive evidence which prompted people to follow the herd.
The newspaper announcements do not PROVE birth in Hawaii. They prove that a birth record was filed at this time, in Hawaii. Most people equate the one thing with the other, and initially I was one of them, but after people pointed out to me how PECULIAR Hawaii's birth certificate laws are, I realized that a newspaper notice cannot be a substitute for a sworn affidavit of birth, and as of yet, Obama has not produced a satisfactory one.
So as I said, there was no "evaluation of conclusive evidence", there was a rush to assume that a notice in a newspaper is acceptable legal proof that someone was born in Hawaii. It. Is. Not.
Well, good luck with that.
